Of course, the UN will need additional funds to manage it so fees will become part of the result.
Actually, this might be the wake up call needed to effect change.
I think the ultimate goal is for each country to maintain it's own network that ties into the Internet managed by the UN. In this way, each country can have more control over content and extract taxes and fees for commercial interconnects and limit the types of content on networks available to people within that country.
China does it already and so does the US to a lesser extent.
I'm not talking about operational funding, I'm more concerned about, "You need to pay additional taxes so we can provide internet to ___________."
And why would the UN need additional funds to manage it?
Is it that current funding through current fees aren't enough or is it that the UN is so inefficient that the current funding won't pay for it?
It is called opportunity. Needing and wanting are different things and often have little relation to one another.
The UN is one of the most efficient organizations in the world when it comes to extracting money. There are few organizations that can obtain the amount of funding it does considering the corruption of it's executives and other persons in controlling positions.
I worry about giving the keys to the nations internet to an outside source. There's too much of our economy relying on it to put it in someone else s hands.
Personally, I don't like it. I think it will be taken over by the UN and then the taxes will begin.
It isn't just about taxes. It's about complete control of all information. The world is increasingly run by a global elite. They want complete control over the media so they can control what we all think.
